Its commitment beyond the market and brings together diverse agencies, each with specialized competencies in a bid to empower the Indian farmer.

Soya beans and its derivatives were 2/3 of ITC’s agricultural export business. In 1998, IBD grossed $100M in agricultural commodities sales while ITC total sales were $2B.

Problems Soy Bean Farmers Encountered
1. Inefficient agricultural supply chain system
2. Limited technology resources constrained dissemination of know-how in rural farming communities
3. Lack of access to quality inputs – seeds, herbicides, pesticides and weather information that would improve crop quality and process of bringing it to the market
4. Farmers and ITC did not reap financial benefits from any profits made off soy bean derived materials (lost 60-70% of potential value of their crop with agricultural yields of only a third to quarter of global standards)
5. On the output side, middle men clogged the supply chain; reducing profit margin for farmers and buyers – unfair practices in weighing produce, delayed payment, delayed process which increased transaction cost and slashed profit; farmers and buyers were locked in unproductive cycle
6. Due to farmers limited capacity for risk, they minimized their crop investment (weather and pest impact); resulted to lower crop value, slim margin leading to aversion from trying new farming methods

Undermining Factors of Indian Agriculture

1. Reduction of cost and inefficiencies in the supply chin
2. Fragmented farms, over dependence on monsoon, lack of sophisticated inputs and farming practices
3. Ineffective chain for agricultural goods
4. Auctioning system of weight manipulation, deferred payment, crowded market which took 2-3 days wait to access, chaotic teens harassing farmers, time pressure, untimely cash flow, inability to turn down CA’s offer, lack of storage facility for perishable Soy, unable to leverage funds, farmers isolation from each other, lack of telecommunication to

    2. The findings about orcas differ from those of chimpanzees in many different ways. Even though they both have a complex culture, orcas communicate in a different ways, they move in groups led by females, they have different ways of pleasing themselves such as rubbing their bodies along rocks and they eat different things. Some orcas eat simple things like salmon others eat things like seals, sea lions and even sharks. One major difference is that instead of the mother Orca forcing/teaching the child how to obtain it’s own food like the chimpanzee learning how to crack nuts; the mother orca instead hunts the food, holds it in her mouth and allow her calves to chew on it. To top it all of orcas are also used for greeting ceremonies in some countries whereas Chimpanzees aren’t.…

    The rising costs greatly affected farmers in the 1800-1900’s. Big companies kept their prices high making it almost impossible for small farmers to keep up. They also had to keep up with the middle man and warehouses and retailers stores that shared the profit. In Document F, James B. Weaver “A Call to Action: An Interpretation of Great Uprising”, it says monopolies are key to destroy competition. That’s exactly what they were doing to small farms so they’d no longer have competition. They would decrease the prices of raw…

    Monsanto is the world’s largest agricultural biotechnology corporation, accounting for over 90% of the genetically engineered organisms on the market. With Monsanto being a monopoly, controversies arise for farmers. “Farmers have found themselves stuck between Monsanto and a hard place” (Delano). The controversies are due to many reasons such as the lack of choice for farmers and the schemes used on farmers. Farmers came to understand that they have no choice. They have to make the decision of either choosing Monsanto’s seeds or being sued with Monsanto’s unnecessary explanations. For example, “A farmer used to grow his own canola was sued by Monsanto when his seeds became contaminated by their Roundup…
